Book Nook: 'Prescription for Pain: How a Once-Promising Doctor Became the Pill Mill Killer' by Philip Eil Recalling the prescription pill mill crisis in Ohio.

It was such a pleasure -- and an honor -- to join @vickmickunas.bsky.social for a second conversation about "Prescription for Pain" on WYSO's "Book Nook."

Also, starting at around 42:15, I talk a bit about the new book proposal/project I've alluded to on this site a few times. 👀

Prescription for Pain: How a Once-Promising Doctor Became the “Pill Mill Killer” – Philip Eil An obsessive true crime investigation of a bizarre and unlikely perpetrator, who’s serving the opioid epidemic’s longest term for illegal prescriptions — four life sentences. Written in the tradition of I'll Be Gone in the Dark and True Crime Addict, combining Dopesick's heart rending portrayal of the epidemic's victims with Empire of Pain's examination of its perpetrators. This haunting and propulsive debut follows a journalist’s years-long investigation into his father's old classmate: former high school valedictorian Paul Volkman, who once seemed destined for greatness after earning his MD and his PhD from the prestigious University of Chicago, but is now serving four consecutive life sentences at a federal prison in Arizona.
